CHICAGO. Sept. 5.--The markets opened steady
to-day, substantially where they closed Satur-
day, but business was far from brisk, owing to
prevailing quiet in other large markets and II
disposition to wait until the visible supply state
ment is announced, which will not occur until
tom ~rrow. October wheat started at 70eS@
7O34c. The only visible figures meeting with
any sort of credeuce put the decrease this week
at 100000 bushels, or possibly some above.
These figures were not large enough to give any
decided strength. The entire range was within
14c, between 103S and 102Sc. Toward the latter
part of the session 1t was very steady at T034c
october wheat firned up on the afternoon board
ana closed at fl14c asked Corn was sluggish
after the FIRST half hour until the last fifteen
minutes of the morning session. when operators
who had been selling short suddenly undertook
to cover TO be in shape for the visible supply re
port tomorrow, when prices moved up from %
a L5c and closed about 14c better than on Satur-
day. October opened at 4154c, sold down to
4lC, afterwards steaG.ed at 4l4c, and al the
close frnied up to 4l9S041Ac. May sold at
4i9sc early, became steady at 4434@G445sc and at
rather slow and offerings in excess of demand.
This and an easy market for corn influenced
speculation and caused futures to rule weaker
and slightly easier but toward the close a tirmei
feeling prevailed. October opened at 2434c, de
clined to 24SSc and closed at 2lIkc. Outside of a
little activity in short rib sides during the latter
part of tine change, an exceedingly quiet day
was passed in the provision market Neither
buyers nor sellers were inclined to trade to any
extent Outside influences were meagre. Hogs
were higher, while Liverpool markets exhibited
a reduction of pence in lard and the principal
Eastern markets were closed on account OF
holiday. Orders from outside parties were
small and local buyers were not inclined to do
much business. Prices for pork and lard We're
steady, while short ribs ruled higher Inquiry
for shipment was moderate i'll the way of filling
small orders, but buyers were slow to pay
former prices and trailing was somewhat linn
tied. Receipts of the product We're fair and
shipments unusually heavy. Stocks are being
reduced rapidly. October lard sold at 81 400
6 IS, and closed steady at So 40. October short
ribs opened at S. 10, declined to SIS 3719, ad-
vanced to s. CO. declined to S. Az, reacted and
